Key Takeaways
- This week's board of investors includes Marc Randolph, co-founder and first CEO of Netflix, Kim Perell, CEO of 100.co and Gary Swart, partner at Polaris Partners.
- Entrepreneurs need the strength to push through obstacles in their business — and in the elevator.
- One word is always music to an investor's ears: profitability.
We're halfway through this season of Entrepreneur Elevator Pitch, with more than $400,000 invested so far. Will our remaining contestants finish at the top, or will our titan investors send them back down to the bottom floor?
No matter how prepared an entrepreneur may be, there's no telling what will happen when the elevator doors close and the countdown clock begins. Time and time again, we see people lock up and stumble as their precious 60 seconds tick away. But never have we seen a contestant pull themself out of a gut-wrenching spiral and recover like a rockstar like we do in the episode. "That was one of the best fumble and recoveries I've ever seen," exclaims investor Marc Randolph.
See if their impressive recovery results in funding on this new episode of Entrepreneur Elevator Pitch!
